Lost in Time


Decided to paint today and here is the result. Reminds me of an old barn left to whither with time. Still have tons to learn, but I like what I see anyway. time will make me better as long as I don't quit practicing and learning.

Hibiscus Painting


Well, it has been a couple weeks since I picked up a paint brush so the heebie jeebies were beginning to hit me. It was time....so I decided to try my hand at a hibiscus. I have to say for the first time in a long time, I am satisfied with this work. I like the colors and there is even some dimension to it. These are my bathroom colors so I think this one will be finding a home there when it is dried and framed. The painting was done on a 16 x 20 canvas.

Amos Brother Ivon


Poor Ivon. He just didn't feel like venturing out of his shell today. He just came out real quick and retreated back to his safe haven. (smile)
Ivon was a lot of fun to make, but he didn't feel "handy" so he just stuck his head out to say hi. Love these guys

Meet Amos


I couldn't sleep last night. Got up at 2am and started creating this precious little Hermit Shell Fae. I am taking a class from Dawn Schiller and this was the lesson. I am so excited. At 4am I finally went to bed and finished "Amos" this morning. What fun this was. I can't wait to create some family members for him. I have loved these faes for years and I sincerely thank Dawn for sharing how to create them.

Red Beauty


It has been a couple weeks without painting so decided to paint this one. I like this one a lot. It is painted on a 16 x 20 canvas with a black gesso background. Very pleased with how this came out.

In Awe of Nature


This was not a great weekend. Not only was it a pain in my arce to have to do a total restore of my computer, but it just seemed like there was one disappointment after another. So to get my mind off of life in general, I decided to paint this. Not real crazy about it, but it was a time filler. It also gave me time to think.
I got my car back, but when I did I found out something else had gone bad....my fuel gauge. Of course that is one more thing that money has to be blown on unless I can argue my way into getting this taken care of as part of the accident, which it obviously was. Oh well. Anyway, at least I can paint when I get upset.

Waterfall in the Forest


And here we have this week's entry into the Kree's painting fun. At first I didn't like the way this one was coming out, but the more I look at it, I am ok with it. I just figure it is the first and as I make more I learn from each one. this one will be fun to try again.

Not sure which one I will do next time. I think I want to do nother flower painting. We will see.
